She already has an ancient SUV. And two giant boys, so I doubt the Countryman would work. I think she also wants to be able to tow.

Countrymans are surprisingly roomy… It has more rear legroom that larger SUVs like the F-Pace or GLC...

But my wife is 6' 2" (she says she's 6' ) and has the prior gen Countryman The new Tiguan might be the best bet -- the current gen was lengthened. I haven't sat in it, but the rear door is visibly longer. The prior gen wasn't bad in the back, but all the extra length went there...

In an SUV, there is huge loss in towing capability when you remove an automatic transmission.
